This stage aims to clearly establish the objectives of the lesson, ensuring that students understand what will be learned and develop specific skills to solve unequal sharing problems. The goal is to guide both students and the teacher on what is expected at the end of the lesson, keeping the focus on the development of the proposed skills.

Main Objectives

1. Understand the idea of unequal sharing of a quantity between two parties.

2. Solve practical and everyday problems that involve unequal ratios and proportions.

Side Objectives

1. Develop logical and mathematical reasoning skills.
2. Encourage collaboration and teamwork when solving problems.

Introduction

Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)

This stage aims to introduce the theme in a contextualized and engaging manner, sparking students' interest from the beginning of the lesson. By using their phones to search for information, students actively engage with the theme, preparing for the discussions and practical activities that will follow.

Warming Up

Introduce the theme of unequal sharing by asking students to reflect on everyday situations where division is not done equally. Mention simple examples, such as sharing tasks at home, where one person may have more responsibilities than another. Then, ask students to use their phones 📱 to find an interesting fact or curiosity about unequal division and share it with the class.

Initial Reflections

1. Have you ever been in a situation where you had to divide something unequally? How was it?

2. In what everyday situations can we find unequal divisions?

3. Why do you think unequal sharing is important for solving real-life problems?

4. What are some examples of unequal sharing you found on the internet?

5. How can we ensure that unequal sharing is fair for everyone involved?

Development

Duration: 70 - 80 minutes

This stage aims to allow students to apply the concepts of unequal sharing in practical and modern contexts, using digital technology to make learning more dynamic and relevant. By working in groups, students develop collaborative and communication skills, as well as consolidating their mathematical understanding through playful and creative activities.

Activity Suggestions

It is recommended that only one of the suggested activities be carried out

Activity 1 - Mathematical Digital Influencers

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Apply the concept of unequal sharing in a practical and contextualized manner, using modern digital tools.

- Description: Students will divide into groups and create a 'digital campaign' to explain unequal sharing. They will use simulated social media to post explanatory videos and texts using the mathematical concepts they have learned.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group will choose a fictional social media platform (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) to create their campaign.

• Students must create a series of posts (at least 3), including videos, texts, and images, explaining unequal sharing and applying it to a practical problem.

• Use video and image editing apps available on phones to create the content.

• Each group will present their campaign to the class, explaining how they solved the unequal sharing problem and how they used social media to engage the audience.

Activity 2 - Gamification of Sharing

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Develop problem-solving and programming skills, applying concepts of unequal sharing in a playful and digital context.

- Description: In this activity, students will create an online game where they must solve different unequal sharing problems to advance to the next level.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should use game creation software (like Scratch or another easily accessible platform) to develop their game.

• Students must create at least 3 levels in the game, each presenting an unequal sharing problem that needs to be solved.

• Instruct students to include hints and mathematical explanations within the game to help players understand the concepts.

• At the end, each group will present their game to the class, demonstrating how it works and explaining the solutions to the proposed problems.

Activity 3 - Interactive Stories with Unequal Sharing

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Stimulate creativity and storytelling skills, applying mathematical concepts of unequal sharing in a digital narrative format.

- Description: Students will create an interactive story using digital tools where the characters face situations requiring the resolution of unequal sharing problems.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Use platforms like Google Slides, Prezi, or another interactive presentation tool to create the story.

• Students must create a narrative where the characters need to solve at least 3 unequal sharing problems throughout the story.

• Include multimedia elements (images, videos, audios) to make the story more engaging.

• Each group will present their interactive story to the class, explaining how they solved the unequal sharing problems presented.

Feedback

Duration: (15 - 20 minutes)

This stage aims to consolidate learning through reflective discussions and constructive feedback. Group discussion allows students to review what they learned and share their experiences, while the 360° feedback promotes continuous improvement and the development of social and collaborative skills.

Group Discussion

Gather all groups for a collective discussion. Invite each group to share their experience in carrying out the activities and the conclusions they reached. Suggest the following script to introduce the discussion: 'Let's now discuss the activities we carried out. Each group will have the opportunity to share what they learned, what challenges they faced, and how they solved the unequal sharing problems presented. Let's start with group X. Can you tell us a bit about how it was to create your campaign/game/story?'

Reflections

1. What were the biggest challenges you faced when solving the unequal sharing problems? 2. How did digital tools help or hinder the resolution of the problems? 3. What did you learn about unequal sharing that you did not know before starting the activities?

360° Feedback

Instruct students on the importance of constructive and respectful feedback. Explain that each student should receive feedback from the group they worked with, highlighting positive aspects of their contributions and suggesting areas for improvement. Suggest the following format for feedback: 'Let’s now do a 360° Feedback. Each of you will have the opportunity to receive feedback from your peers. Remember to be respectful and constructive. Start by highlighting something positive and then point out something that could be improved.'

Conclusion

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

🎯 Purpose The conclusion aims to consolidate learning by connecting concepts of unequal sharing with the contemporary reality of students, as well as highlighting the practical importance of the knowledge acquired. This stage closes the lesson on a high note, reinforcing the relevance of the topic and motivating students to apply what they learned in real life.

Summary

🌟 Fun Summary! 🌟 Congratulations, digital mathematician! 🎉 Today we navigated through the waters of unequal sharing 🧮, learning how to divide fairly when one part is larger than the other. We saw how to solve situations where one person receives double the amount, applying ratios and proportions to do everything correctly. 🚀

World Connection

🔗 In Today's World 🌍 We are surrounded by situations involving unequal distributions, from dividing tasks in our homes to allocating resources in companies and governments. Understanding these concepts helps us make fairer and more effective decisions, promoting a more balanced society.

Practical Application

📈 Daily Applications Knowing how to deal with unequal sharing is essential for solving practical everyday problems, such as splitting the bill at a restaurant or organizing an event. These mathematical skills become powerful tools for life, helping us plan and make decisions based on data and facts.
